We value having a personal relationship with God.  By seeking God, and letting Him into all the areas of our lives, we come to know Him.  We then discover how much He loves us and that He’s worthy of our complete devotion and worship.

We value following Jesus.  Jesus’ words to the first disciples are still the words God speaks to us: “Follow me.”  We aim first to grow as authentic followers of Jesus ourselves and then help others to follow Him.

We value the Bible.  We believe that the Bible is God's Word to us.  We want to build our relationship with Him by learning His words and applying them to our lives.  It is our standard for what we believe and for what we do.

We value the Holy Spirit.  Jesus gave us the Holy Spirit as our Helper and Counselor.  We want to be responsive to the Holy Spirit's leading in our personal lives and in the church.

We value participation.  One of the most exciting parts of Jesus’ message is that we get to join with Him and participate in His ministry.  God wants to use everyday people to transform lives. 

We value people.  We are to love everyone - people of every race, age, background and social class; those who believe like we do, as well as those who don’t. 

We value relationship.  A powerful aspect of Jesus’ life was that He was personal and relational.  We don't experience and express love from a distance; we love as we interact with one another.  We are not designed to live in independence, but in community.  We need each other.

We value mercy and compassion.  Mercy and compassion are the very things that God extended to us when He saved us.  Because of this, we aim to extend mercy and compassion to all people. 

We value being real and authentic.  We want to do what we do in a natural, low-key, no-hype way, presenting the simple truth of Jesus and experiencing the reality of His presence.

We value integrity.  We desire to be honest, open, and transparent in our relationships... speaking the truth in love and living a lifestyle that is consistent with our beliefs.

We value generosity.  Because God has been so generous with us, we want to be a generous community that passes along His kindness.

We value being relevant.  We want our music, atmosphere, language, and teaching style to be understandable and relevant to those around us who are seeking God.
